4,321 campsites, none of them real

Three olive-green tree tents hang among twisted juniper trees high above the dark cliffs of Ethiopia’s Simien Mountains. Fine rain fills the deep valleys as a fiery sunset breaks through the storm clouds. Trekking poles, a steaming thermos, and a dog bed make the quiet campsite feel ready for adventure.
